[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131947927, member: 1812660"] What does that even mean? I am not the one advocating that you start wearing masks in situations that they traditionally were never worn in before. Again if you want to compel people to start or stop a behavior, especially if it contradicts the way things have always been done, the onus is on the side advocating change to coherently argue as to why. Some cases, smoking cigarettes for example, there was a very good and coherent case as to why it had to stop. Masks on the other hand are more dubious when dealing with a virus that is aersolized, which passes through all but K95's easily. It's also dubious to say that wearing a mask at the basketball game will put a dent in COVID, but sitting in a restaurant maskless for 2+ hours is fine. Truth is that the only thing proven helpful is K95's and those that are worried can wear them to protect themselves regardless of what those around them do as wearing that K95 is just as protective when around cloth/surgical masked folks or the unmasked.
